Nigori

Nigori sake, also called nigorizake (Japanese: 濁り酒, nigorizake, pronounced ni.ɡo.ɾi.za.ke), is a type of Japanese sake (seishu) that is filtered through a coarse mesh, leaving some rice solids suspended in the drink and giving it a cloudy appearance. Unlike clear sake (seishu), nigori sake retains part of the fermentation mash after pressing, but it is still legally classified as seishu under Japanese Liquor Tax Law and is produced by licensed sake breweries using standard sake-making techniques. Nigori sake is distinct from doburoku, which is not pressed at all and remains fully unfiltered.
